With food, home and transport provided you have 6000 left with you. Your other expenses may not be more than 500-1000, depends on how you want to live though there is no upper ceiling. (In case you are married just check on the expenses you may have towards them or any other obligations to be taken care by you). Sounds ok if it compares well with your current salary and savings. Though for an engineer with 5 yrs experience, 7300 does sound quite less to me. It should be anything around 15-20,000/- because engineers with 12-15 years experience can get around 40-50,000/-. Best of luck!
The company is providing me the shared accommodation and food with a deduction of 1200 QR/month. transporation will be provided by company from residents to work place
now whats your suggestion ??
U still haven't talked about what all is included or excluded from QR7300/-. If it is all inclusive it doesn't sound worth coming. You have to also consider what are your current earnings and savings. QR500/- for food works out to less than QR17 a day. I am not sure where you can get food (breakfast, lunch and dinner as min.) that cheap unless you eat ONLY Kuboos..a form of roti, with salt and onion for all three meals, 365 days a year. I will put at QR 4000-5000 as min. expenditure, that is when you just go to work, come back and lock yourself up in your room until next morning and on weekends.
Bro with your experience may be its less but its a good way to kick off in DOHA and I hope you will accept it as for the future no matter what you will get today and you will save enough Congratulations.
if somebody learns a few smart tips of cost saving then the journey of life goes smoothly ...
Tip 1 ... Make a confirmed programme alternatively with a colleague , friend , neighbour & relative on every weekend .... to remain with them from Thursday eve to Sunday morning ....
In that case there are relatives , friends and colleagues ...
Thanks Molten and Margrin,
your inputs are encouraging .
maight save 5000 with smart planning ....
Take the flight and land here ....
Ignore the distractions .... Look into tomorrow ....
Good Future ..... !

Hi Mrglory,
I have 5+ year experience in electrical engineering but its only in India,i am flying for the first time outside India or you can say its my first international assignment.
I am assuming this offer as an entry to middle east market.
what is your opinion now.
Thanks

Basically your experience reflects your salary so you did not discuss your experience, So if you are on Entry Level Yeah its Okey you can except it.
If the salary is all inclusive, you will spending QR 2000 on accommodation and another QR 500 on your food. It is now up to you alone to decide to accept or reject the offer.
don't be dumb dude ask them who will provide accomandation, transport medical, as zafirah said otherwise stay in India.
obviously you will need accommodation, transportation, food, medical, etc...
ask them what is your offer package?
SAVE? it will depend on your lifestyle. if you do not buy anything, i think you can save 7300 riyals.
